Inter-Agency Operational Update - Tanzania
UPDATE ON ACHIEVEMENTS Operational Context Burundi's security forces have tortured suspected opponents of President Pierre Nkurunziza's third-term bid. This came after President Pierre Nkurunziza sworn in for a controversial third term on August 20, following elections in July where he got nearly 70 percent of the vote.

In his inauguration speech last week, the president promised to end the violence within two months.
